The excellent kitchen chemistry between the two chefs who have known each other since childhood, is shown in the composition of the four very fairly priced menus - including a vegetarian version - all made from first-class ingredients.

This is the place for fine dining and celebrations. Host Dan Daniell is a true Zermatt jack-of-all-trades who composes, performs, forges rhymes and writes cookbooks for children. The lamb grilled on an open fire is a must, Zermatt local colour included.
Freshly prepared food with sophisticated sauces. The ice cream creations alone, such as the raspberry chili sorbet, are worth several sins. In addition to perfectly combined meat dishes, there is also a delicious menu for vegetarians.
